## What is Moka?

Kanji is the wall most Japanese learners hit. Moka is built to get you over it, and to keep you coming back.

Every kanji comes with a memory hook you won't forget: a vivid mnemonic, a custom illustration, and the readings broken down so they actually make sense. Then you practice across a range of exercise types, including one where you say the reading out loud and the app listens. Recognition, recall, reading, speaking: you drill each kanji from every angle, not just one.

WHY MOKA

- Explanations in your language. Every mnemonic and breakdown is written natively in English, Portuguese, and French, not machine-translated. A real difference if English isn't your first language.
- Speak, don't just tap. Built-in speech recognition checks how you pronounce the readings.
- Practice from every angle. Far more than flip-a-flashcard: variety is what makes kanji stick.
- A clear path. A guided journey from JLPT N5 through N2: 982 kanji and 2,946 example words, so you always know what's next.
- Smart review. Spaced, interleaved review brings each kanji back right before you'd forget it.
- Calm by design. No leaderboards, no guilt-trip notifications, no pressure. Just you and the kanji, at your pace.
